Often I read here from Monday models due Spulenfiepen. At first I had no problems with newer games. When I wanted to play again out of boredom Sims 3, when I heard it: The evil Spulenfiepen. To when I anwarf after a brief Internet search times Fraps to measure FPS in Sims 3 hit me almost fainted. The graphics card spat 2000 (not a typo!) And more frames per second. So you need not be surprised that the whimpers.
The problem I have governed with MSI Afterburner. Here during the installation, an additional program called "RivaTunerStatisticsServer" to choose from, with which you can limit the maximum ejected FPS. 100-200 FPS suffice completely.
Games such as "Far Cry 3" or "Tomb Raider" run on Ultra without problems. Since my old CPU fan drowned (now replaced) even my graphics card.
For reference, briefly my computer components. Depending on the rest of the system, the graphics card will also provide another performance
- Motherboard: Asus Crosshair IV Formula
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, 3.2GHz
- Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2000 MHz
- Seagate SSHD ST1000DX001 internal HDD 1TB
For volume ... now noise perception is relative. Previously I had a Radeon HD 6950, which toward the end under full load was so loud, as would start a plane next to me. In comparison, this graphics card is really hard to hear the fan speed to 60% and becomes noticeable only by a faint whirring. From 60%, however, the graphics card is always audible, but it is not unpleasant sound.
Conclusion: Anyone looking for a good graphics card in the ATI region, which is suitable for gaming will definitely find here. I've always had problems with Geforce cards (no idea why, probably karma), so I wanted a Gamingrafikkarte that I did not have to exchange again in the next 2 years. This graphics card has not only met my expectations, they exceeded them.
If at one or the other Spulenfiepen experience when you play, so you should as mentioned above times the frame rate, the rausspuckt the graphics card so look for commands.
